I must apologize in advance, but we are "Desperately Seeking Susan."
Sorry, scratch that-- desperately seeking an Accounting Information
Systems faculty member, and as the recently "annointed" Chair of the
Department of Accounting & Business Law, I thought to myself:  "Who can
you ask if you can't ask your friends?"

If any of you know of an Accounting colleague who might be interested
in the following position announcement, please forward it on to them.
Thank you.
